Cheesecake Cupcakes
Description
This recipe lines cupcake tins with vanilla wafers as a base, providing a slightly crisp, sweet foundation. The filling is prepared by beating softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth, then gently incorporating vanilla Greek yogurt, egg whites, and flour to maintain a light texture without overmixing.
After filling half way, the cupcakes bake at 350°F until the centers are nearly set, producing a creamy, firm texture typical of traditional cheesecake but in a single-serving portion. Cooling to room temperature followed by chilling in the refrigerator firm up the cheesecake for proper slicing and texture.
Before serving, the cupcakes are topped with thinly sliced strawberries and whole blueberries, adding fresh fruit flavor, color, and a delicate contrast to the rich filling. This dessert pairs well with tea or coffee and can be made ahead for gatherings.
